Yes — only SIX episodes, as confirmed by a source to Entertainment Weekly. Whoa. I'm pretty sure that this will be the shortest season, ever, without taking into consideration shows that were cancelled during their first season after a few flop episodes. And that means there are only 13 episodes until Game of Thrones as we know it completely done.

With that small number of episodes left, the series will end with a total of 73 episodes telling the bloody, complex, and fantastic stories of our GOT family. Apparently, the two showrunners, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, have know exactly when they wanted to end the series (down to the number of episodes) for years. Of course, the silver lining in all this is that there will be handful (four or five) of spin-offs happening to satisfy our George R.R. Martin-world addictions, but the premises of each are far from being revealed. And they haven't even been officially approved by the network.

It's probably a good idea to binge watch GOT this weekend just for old time's sake.
